AVILOO, the global leader in independent EV battery diagnostics, announces the expansion of the AVILOO Battery Warranty into 14 further European markets – extending genuine, financially backed protection for used EV buyers, based entirely on independent battery health data, to a total of 24 countries across Europe.
The expansion builds on the successful launch of the Battery Warranty earlier this year, which began in France and Sweden in June, before launching simultaneously in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Switzerland in July. From 7th September, the warranty is also live in the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Iceland, Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Poland and Liechtenstein – bringing the total to 24 markets across Europe.
The used EV market across Europe is growing rapidly, but buyer confidence has not kept pace. For most consumers, the battery – the single most expensive component in any electric vehicle – remains an unknown quantity at the point of purchase. Manufacturer-reported health figures are neither independently verified nor standardised, and compensation expectations vary from market to market. The AVILOO Battery Warranty changes that.
How it works: for dealers
The Battery Warranty is issued as a standalone document, separate from AVILOO’s existing independent battery certificate. It is managed through AVILOO Connect, a new digital dashboard for professional EV remarketing, giving dealers, fleet operators, and remarketing platforms a single interface to manage battery test lifecycles from incoming inspection through to warranty issuance.
For each vehicle, an individual State of Health (SoH) floor is calculated using AVILOO’s proprietary diagnostics database – the largest battery health dataset in the world. The calculation sets the minimum SoH the battery must maintain at 20,000 kilometres over the one-year warranty period. Dealers can offer this warranty to buyers as a credible, independently underwritten selling point, without carrying the risk themselves.
How it works: for buyers
Buyers receive a one-year warranty period during which they can carry out an AVILOO FLASH Test – a three-minute, manufacturer-neutral diagnostic that assesses real battery capacity, thermal management, and charging capability against original factory specifications, covering 96% of EV models currently on the road.
If the battery’s SoH falls below the calculated threshold during the warranty period, the buyer receives a fixed compensation payment – set locally for each market, as shown below – plus a full refund of the FLASH Test costs. This is a concrete, unconditional financial backstop, not a vague assurance.
Compensation by market
The table below sets out the compensation payable in each of the 14 new markets, should a vehicle’s battery fall below its guaranteed SoH threshold during the one-year warranty period.

| Spain | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Italy | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Portugal | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Slovakia | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Iceland | 430.000 kr. | ISK |
| Cyprus | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Greece | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Bulgaria | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Slovenia | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Luxembourg | 3.000 € | EUR |
| Hungary | 1 000 000 Ft | HUF |

Marcus Berger, CEO of AVILOO, said:
“The AVILOO Battery Warranty raises the used electric vehicle market to a new level. With this expansion, we are extending the same foundation – a warranty based solely on objective, independent measurement data – into fourteen more European markets. This builds trust and gives dealers and buyers right across Europe a level of certainty that simply has not existed before. We are seeing enormous appetite from both dealers and consumers, in our established markets and our newest ones alike, to get this right. With the Battery Warranty, we are setting a new industry standard – one that provides orientation for all market participants, strengthens the case for electric mobility, and ensures that used EVs are seen not as a risk, but as a sustainable, trustworthy choice.”
Already trusted by Europe’s biggest automotive names
AVILOO’s credentials in independent battery diagnostics are already well established. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Porsche Holding have each selected AVILOO as their preferred third-party battery testing provider for dealerships across Europe, with the FLASH Test deployed on both own-brand and trade-in vehicles.
Leasing majors Ayvens and Arval use AVILOO as part of their end-of-lease remarketing process. Auction groups BCA and Cox Automotive have integrated the FLASH Test into their European operations. Major dealer groups Hedin and Emil Frey are also live. All relationships are underpinned by European-level agreements.
AVILOO’S EV Performance Report
Last week AVILOO launched its first ever EV Performance Report, which it will now publish twice a year. It is the world’s largest independent study of used EV battery health: over 500,000 tests across 20 popular models, part of AVILOO’s global database of more than 1 million tests.
The data spans North and South America, Europe, Australia and Asia, and tracks battery health at three mileage points – 50,000km, 100,000km and 150,000km – to show how batteries really hold up over time and distance. Because it’s independent testing, not a reading pulled from a car’s own dashboard, it’s genuinely useful for anyone who needs to know what a used EV battery is actually worth: fleet managers, insurers, dealers and showrooms, consumers and OEMs alike.
The results were compelling. EVs of the exact same model with the exact same mileage can still differ by up to 13.5% in battery health – a gap big enough to be worth tens of kilometres of real-world range – which is why a model average can’t tell you what your specific car’s battery is actually worth, and only an independent test can.
